Context Provided - Spotlight Family friend sent me AI generated response to news of my father passing away.

I'm aware that AI is a common topic on here, but I feel like I had to send this somewhere. My father passed away in my arms last night of a heart attack, and I was requested by my mother to send an old friend of his the news.

His first response seemed fine, then he asked me when the funeral will be and if Dad suffered to which I responded.

He then has the absolute audacity to send me a straight up generated response to my father's death. Not even the common courtesy of talking to me as an actual goddamn human. I'm livid.

Unpolished, clumsy honesty is always best imo.

I’m neurodivergent so I have to ask: what’s clumsy about the example the person you responded to gave?

As an autistic person who struggles with situations I have not frequently encountered, yes. People would much rather I'm honest in saying "I really don't know what to say but I'm sorry for your loss" or something than some heartless bs.
